To check on the status of your e-book hold requests, first go to the catalog page to log in (click on the Log In button in the upper right corner to enter your card number and pin). Once you are logged in, you have two options to check the status of your holds. First, you can click the Overdrive tab on the catalog page, then click on the Holds link on the left side of the screen.  You will see the list of items on hold and, for each item, your place in line, approximate wait time, and the option to suspend the hold, remove the hold, or change the email address for notifications. 

You can also click on the My Bookshelf tab in the lower left corner of the screen, then click on the Holds tab. You will then see a list of your holds for e-books as well as any physical books you have requested.  For e-books, you will see information regarding your place in line and the option to cancel your hold. If the ebook is available for checkout, you will see the button to "Get It".

If you are in the Libby app, you can click the stack of books (fourth icon from the left) and then click the tab for holds to see the status of your requests.
